I started Forge, which is an open-source, free project that lets you play Magic: The Gathering against the computer. Currently other people are updating Forge and there will be no more posts to this blog.

New Version

Another great months equals another great version of Forge. Forge now clocks in with 7,746 cards. This month there are only 84 new cards but you have to remember that last month there were more than 1,000 new cards.

4-22 was the date that this version of Forge was first posted on the forums. Many thanks to the faithful developers :*)

Download - Card Pictures (160 MB)
These are most of the low-quality (LQ) card pictures. You can download the rest of the LQ card pictures or the high-quality (HQ) card pictures using the menu on the New Game screen.

Instead of blah, blah talking about the new cards I'm just going to show the card picture itself. And of course you can admire the wonderful artwork. (And yes this is way easier than typing a bunch of text myself.)

Many people helped with this version. A special thank you goes out to them:
